Hydrologic maps of the High Plains aquifer, January 1981, southwestern Kansas

The U.S. Geological Survey furnishes maps depicting saturated thickness of the High Plains aquifer to the Southwest Kansas Groundwater Management District No. 3 through a continuing cooperative agreement.  The Groundwater Management District uses the maps to calculated a planned depletion rate of 40 percent of the saturated thickness of the aquifer in 25 years for a 13-county area.  Because the in

Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in South Carolina

Methods are provided for estimating flood magnitudes at recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years, for unregulated rural streams in South Carolina with drainage areas greater than 1.0 square mile. Multiple regression analyses were used to define the relation between flood discharge and basin and climatic variables. The analyses indicated that flood discharge is related to the drainag

Preliminary map showing availability of ground water from glacial-drift aquifers in Logan County, south-central North Dakota

This preliminary map is the first product of the ground-water resources study of Logan County, which has an area of 1,015 mi2 (2,629 km2) in south-central North Dakota (see location map).  This study is part of a statewide program to determine the location, extent, chemical quality, and hydrologic characteristics of the ground-water reservoirs (aquifers) in North Dakota.  The study was made by
